    Neat little kids SciFi movie

    A group of kids steal a rover on the moon to travel to a crater where a secret is waiting for one of them. They will have adventures and face dangers on their way while learning more about the world they live on and the world that their parents or grandparents came from.

    The beauty of this movie is it is about kids living in a future that is negative. They learned nothing about the Earth at school, they see no great future for them because their parents and then themselves will be forced into basically bonded labour contracts with unfair conditions that are almost impossible to escape.

    Yet the movie ends on a hopeful note, even if they are no revolutionaries. Yes, a lot of the moon stuff and physics is all wrong, but the reality of the feelings and story are important. These are kids and the story is grounded at their level.

    Not sure why there are negative reviews. Maybe it is the adults watching what is a kids movies. Maybe it is parents upset that the movie is negative. Perhaps the pacing is too slow for modern kids. Not sure, but still should be better regarded than it is.

    'Stand By Me' and 'The Goonies' meet on the Moon.

    'Stand By Me' and 'The Goonies' meet on the Moon.

    Directed by Kyle Patrick Alvarez, the director of the 2015 movie The Stanford Prison Experiment, this Disney Plus movie is a pleasant spectacle that you can watch with the whole family.

    The fact that it takes place on the Moon does not make this movie a Science Fiction movie, so the criticisms made here are very absurd.

    A true Coming Of Age/Road movie.

    Leading musician/actor Billy Barratt, who has previously met with the audience in 2019's A Christmas Carol and 2019's Responsible Child, has done a good job.

    He had already won an Emmy from Haluk Bilginer before.

    I don't get it why this movie is rated so low

    I mean i understand that it is not a great movie, but it isn't that bad that it gets only a 5.3 rating. This movie is about a band of friends filled with emotions, have dreams, cares for each other. They really show their bonding all over the movie. And that is what all matters.

    The fun little adventure they had, the sudden fear of danger, trying to get out of that danger, all things were written so well. I know it might feel like generic sci-fi movie and it is 100% scientifically accurate. But keep in mind that it wasn't meant for adult viewers. It's a movie for the young ones. Who have dreams and want to have a quality time while watching it.

    To anyone reading any bad reviews or wanted to skip this movie because it has a bad rating, don't listen to anyone. Give it a shot. It's worth it.

    Its ok

    It's not a bad movie for the whole family, but i think my wife and I enjoyed it more then our ten and twelve year olds as they both were not glued to the tv and both lost interst at different times. I think adults would like a bit more backstory and kids would like it to be a little more fast paced. As a previous reviewer has said, stand by me and goonies on the moon is a pretty good comparison.. but is nice to see disney getting back to the basics..

    It delivers what promisses

    I was wondering if there is no friends of the people who were involved in this production. Why is it with a low evaluation. Its 4,7 when I write this.

    It its a Disney production with a beautifull coming of age story. There are the elements of drama and comedy and a family like story, that can atract a public of young age and adults.

    Some picky adults will complain about some sciency inacuracy in some sequences. But it serves the script.

    I am not an English native, so, pardon my mispells or another errors. I could use some translation tools, but I chose not to.

    Those were a light almost 90 minutes of leisure.

      The kids have fun when they go outside, jumping around in the lunar gravity, which apparently they haven't been in for their whole lives in the domes, or in the rover just before.
    • Quotes

      Addison: All of this stuff really happened, to people who thought it was the most important thing in the entire universe. Earth was everything to them. Now, it's like all anybody cares about is when they get to go to Omega.
